Chicago BearsBears 59, PANTHERS 37 (CAR +3). The Bears made a couple of mistakes to allow the Panthers to hang around. It was 21-all, but Chicago's offense was far too much for a Carolina defense that couldn't stop anything the opposition was doing. 552-478 CHI, 7.9-7.7 CHI
Vikings 9, BEARS 3 (CHI -4.5). This was a windy and wet game where both offenses struggled. Caleb Williams got hurt in the fourth quarter. Tyson Bagent got the Bears close to winning, but couldn't complete the drive. 297-246 CHI, 4.8-4.2 MIN
BEARS 27, Eagles 7 (CHI +4.5). Case Keenum threw all over the Eagles secondary. Saquon Barkley ran well in the first half, but Barkley was given just four carries in the second half. 375-248 CHI, 5.4-5.3 CHI
BEARS 23, Jets 12 (CHI -3). The Bears stalled at the goal line early with Tyson Bagent, but eventually got their act together and were able to win time of possession by 25 minutes. 492-157 CHI, 5.5-4.9 CHI
PACKERS 31, Bears 7 (GB +1.5). Jordan Love completed a million Hail Marys in this game despite getting nothing from his running game, while Tyson Bagent was so bad that he was benched for Case Keenum. 428-246 GB, 7.3-3.6 GB
Bears 31, FALCONS 23 (ATL PK). The Bears got out to a 31-7 lead in this game with great Caleb Williams passing and some turnovers forced on Atlanta. The Falcons got garbage time and made this game interesting very late, but Chicago's defense shut the door on Michael Penix Jr. 368-257 CHI, 5.1-5.0 ATL
BEARS 30, Patriots 24 (CHI -3). The Patriots scored a bogus touchdown at the end of the first but otherwise didn't do too much offensively outside of one drive per half. The Bears smothered Drake Maye who was missing three guards, while Caleb Williams threw for 300+ yards. 405-380 CHI, 7.6-6.1 NE
Seattle SeahawksSEAHAWKS 13, Patriots 10 (SEA -3). Sam Darnold got hurt on the opening drive, and the Seahawks couldn't do anything offensively until the second half when the Patriots fell asleep at a late hour. A.J. Brown got hurt, while Drake Maye and Romeo Doubs made numerous mistakes.
Seahawks 31, CARDINALS 7 (ARZ +4). The Seahawks hit a big play to Jaxon Smith-Njigba to start the game, and then the Cardinals tied. Arizona could do nothing in the second half due to immense Seattle pressure, and Drew Lock once again hit Smith-Njigba twice more for touchdowns. 381-151 SEA, 5.7-3.2 SEA
REDSKINS 33, Seahawks 31 (WAS +7.5). The Seahawks gave the Redskins two free scores with a Jadarian Price fumble and a Sam Darnold pick-six. The Seahawks constantly trailed, with Darnold getting a bunch of yardage in garbage time. The Seahawks had a chance at the end, but couldn't get off the field. 437-258 SEA, 6.8-4.0 SEA
SEAHAWKS 30, Chargers 23 (SEA -7). The Seahawks led 30-13, with Justin Herbert doing nothing the whole game before a back-door push where the Chargers were able to get scores on ridiculous plays. 301-286 LAC, 4.9-4.4 SEA
49ers 32, SEAHAWKS 29 (SEA -3). The Seahawks committed a number of mistakes throughout the game, giving the 49ers plenty of scoring opportunities. Mike Evans took advantage with a dominant performance. The Seahawks still had a chance to win, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a pass in field goal range. 269-251 SF, 4.8-4.2 SF
BRONCOS 17, Seahawks 14 (DEN +2.5). The Broncos led 14-3 for a chunk of the game. Sam Darnold saw lots of pressure and couldn't move the ball for a while, but converted two scoring drives at the end. However, an interception in overtime gave the Broncos a field goal to win. 353-168 SEA, 4.3-2.9 SEA
SEAHAWKS 20, Chiefs 3 (SEA -2.5). The Seahawks dominated this game on both sides of the ball. They smothered Patrick Mahomes with pressure, and Sam Darnold was able to convert 11-of-16 third downs against Kansas City's secondary. 410-213 SEA, 5.9-4.3 SEA
